20 Photos That Starkly Remind Us Of The Changing Face Of Modern Art & Architecture
Once upon a time opulent buildings and ornate structures adorned the streets of most countries. Architecture has done a 180 over time, however, with more and more simplistic structures being favoured over the more “busy” outdated versions.
But is it as awe-inspiring as its predecessors? We’ll leave that for you to decide based on the photos shared below found on the Twitter account, Culture Critic. On their page, they call out modern architecture displays they deem as ‘lacklustre’ in comparison with their predecessors. Scroll below to check them out and be the judge yourself.

Got wisdom to pour?
The author sharing Twitter posts from Culture Critic speaks volumes about them… Culture Critic is proven to be pro-Fascist propaganda. What is the purpose of Fascism? 🥴 Also… those that do, do not only make memes. People need better role models that Twitter ragers
I dunno, this guy seems pretentious to me. These examples are cherry picked and his commentary is snooty af. Plus, isn’t Culture Critic some kind of alt right mouthpiece?
There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done.” All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.
I invite you to Islam, have you read the Quran?
It’s true the artists of today are lazy and not even close to being talented in, art, music, movies, television etc. It’s literally just luck, what piece of trash sells today. I wouldn’t pay a penny for a banana taped to the wall yet stupid people bought it. Luck not art anymore.
All you’re really doing here is demonstrating how lazy, ignorant, narrow-minded and shallow your ideas on anesthetics, culture, and design are. There’s as much awe and wonder to be had in 1970/1980 Postmodern architecture as you would in a gothic cathedral (albeit a more whimsical type of awe and wonder – but wonder all the same). See anything by Tadao Ando (concrete has never been sexier), or just about anything by Graves or Gehry.

🤢. Concrete boxes vs art that can be lived in. There is a place for that type of architecture…a war bunker.
Cobblestone roads – built in the 1800s, still functional hundreds of years later
Asphalt roads – used today, barely functional in 25 years
Ah yes let’s cherry pick the worst of post-war architecture as representative of the entire field. Let’s re-hash the ancient “I could have painted this myself” argument as if it was ever relevant. This account is to art/architecture what alt-right propaganda is to politics: uneducated oversimplifications to make us wish for idyllic past that never existed instead of the complicated present we live in.
Why must everything I take time to read always have to contain political commentary like yours?
